-### NPM install +### For Node.js / NPM users While not physically hosted by NPM, it's still possible to install using NPM tools like so ([npm docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install)): ``` -npm install uNetworking/uWebSockets.js#binaries +npm install uNetworking/uWebSockets.js#v15.0.0 ``` -### Presenting; faster I/O for Node.js -Every other week a new "web framework" pops up for Node.js. Fastify, Restana, Aero, Micro and so on. Most aim to improve I/O performance, but fall flat. You can't fix an inherent design flaw of an entire stack just by slapping a few lines of JavaScript on top. - -µWS.js is a 100% C/C++ web platform completely bypassing the entire Node.js I/O stack. JavaScript-exposed functions and objects are entirely backed by native code all the way down to the OS kernel. This makes it possible to reach unprecedented I/O performance from within Node.js (or any stand-alone V8 build). This stack is, within Node.js, faster than gorilla/websocket for Golang even on an SSL-vs-non-SSL basis. +This project is a Google V8 (Node.js or not) web server built to be efficient and stable. It makes use of µWebSockets, the C++ project, and exposes its features to JavaScript developers. This includes mainly Http & WebSockets, SSL and non-SSL. Prominent users include bitfinex.com, they run ther trading APIs on this server. ##### In a nutshell ```javascript
